Know When to Call it a Day

I think I really overdid it yesterday. First of all, I went and helped my mom do yardwork. It was my first experience with a pushmower. I would DEFINITELY opt for a riding one. It was quite a workout! However, I had a great time. And it was good to help her out...I feel like I don't help others enough (I was feeling a bit guilty after reading "The Purpose Driven Life"!). Anyway, trying to improve in that area. :-) So, I was exhausted after all of that...mowing the lawn, trimming HUGE hedges, etc. Later on that day I went to the gym and had QUITE a workout! Ran on the treadmill, took a cross training class (by the way, not only is Renee a hardworking custodian, she's a killer instructor!!!! :-) ), and did some weights. So I was pretty pooped. I got home and it was still so pretty out that I decided to go run a few miles. Well about halfway through my run, I realized I'd probably made a mistake. I was dying! My legs felt like dead weight. Towards the end of my run...almost back to my apartment...I really did almost die. A motorcycle crashed on the road right beside me...I had to dodge debris and parts of the bike. Quite frightening..perhaps a "subtle" hint from a certain someone that I should have called it a day after the gym???? Anyway, thank goodness the driver was fine (and I did a good job of dodging)! And I can barely walk today due to my obsessive compulsive exercising yesterday! Oh well...

I'm off to ATL today-very excited! Going to visit my friend John and go to a Braves game. Should be lots of fun! By the way, if you haven't seen the movie Cinderella Man, go! It was awesome...went with Ben a few days ago. Very sad in parts though...to see the lives of people during the Great Depression. It made me realize how fortunate I am for all that God has blessed me with. Later.
